It's OK.. They only 20 years behind. Just a little better than the Admin :)
And since that outside group is using our university facilities wouldn't you think they are in contact with the university coordinating this event? They got the date right but we shouldn't expect them to get the name right?Quote:

But then, the schools on the outside complain we're moving too fast...
Absolutely, I expect that group to get the name and date right. However, I wouldn't expect us to micromanage it either. Besides, even if it were the university's responsibility that every group who has some affiliation with us put the correct name in their literature, how is that the marketing department's failure?Quote:

If that doesn't fall under the auspices of Marketing then someone in the admin needs to be responsible.Quote:
